I always loved rain, from my very young ages i loved watching rain come down, loved playing in the rain, even loved swimming in the near by lake (its a small one). Trees looked that much more greener to me when it was raining.What excites me most is the heavy rain with lots of wind and thunder.

This is what i was thinking when i saw the huge damages that landslides has caused during the inter monsoon season. All the rivers are overflowing with brownish water. kandy - Colombo road is in bad shape as heavy rains has ruined what little was left on the A1 road. Its now an almost 5 hour journey to Kandy on a typical Friday evening. During the lengthy stoppages on my way to kandy, I looked outside the shutter of the bus i was travelling thinking of my childhood rain fantasies.

to only realize that I have not changed much…………..I still love rain.
